Naughton Gallery

Belfast is Rome with more hills: it is Atlantis raised from the sea. And from any where you stand, from any where you look, the streets glitter like jewels, like small strings of stars...However many, whatever size, it is magical.

Robert McLiam Wilson,
Eureka Street
(Secker & Warburg, 1996)
