Yes, it was said...

Татьяна-Валентина Мамонова
Стихотворение "Я верю в новые таланты"
(Татьяна Крыжановская)
в вольном переводе Татьяны-Валентины Мамоновой
на английский язык:

Yes, it was said,
and love was praised.
We don't write
odes any longer.
In Golden Age
was it left.
However,
we can still
sing and chant -
just being poets -
all the same things,
admiring their
essence
with  new expressions,
with new and
precious words.
