Excerpt from Donegal Memories and Other Poems
Throughout those years of the weary silence of his own Muse, however, he was alertly a listener to all the voices of song around him: and it was then, in collaboration with his mother, of nature like his own, that he gathered the materials which prepared him to become, not long ago, the historian of poetry in Buffalo. It can be said safely that no other city in this country has anything of local anthology to compare, in completeness and historical value, with the fine volume edited and published by Mr. Johnston in 1904, representative of The Poets and Poetry of Buffalo nor is there another, of equal rank and population, that could make a prouder showing of literary product than that volume sets forth. The prepara tion of it was a labor of love, moved by the high civic spirit which estimates a community by the workings of mind it can show, rather than by the product of its factories or the statistics of its trade.
Time had now brought my friend to that backward turn of memory which slips one into persisting thoughts of his youth, giving him a happy recall of days when mere living was poetry, and the prose - making of manhood in sordid labors was not begun. This quickened into a new activity the old instinctof rhythmic expression that was born in him, and it gave us the Donegal Memories, which have sung their simple sweet feeling into the hearts of many more than their Irish readers. If I care a little more for the elder verse of the eighteen-six ties-and-seventies, it is because of the habit of a long affection, no doubt, and not many will assent to such a preference. The poems of the two periods are interesting in their differences, as well as delightful in themselves, and they gain by being bound together.
