A Passage to Belfast
'Belfast stands no nonsense and lies at the head of Belfast Lough. In all our far-flung Empire one could scarcely find a city which stood nonsense less.'
So said the novelist E. M.
Forster. His observation was based on a number of visits from 1912 until his last stay in 1952. He was then unveiling a memorial to his friend Forrest Reid, the writer whose work he greatly admired.
