Catholics are messy, scattered, ratlike. Protestants are stoic, clean, neatly arranged. Armageddon would appear to be the razed, rubble-strewn no-man's-land between any Protestant part of Belfast and its nearest Catholic center of population. Ahigh red-brick wall should separate all such neighborhoods, the child insists - and does so with a red crayon" (Coles's description, p. 86).
