A Wretched Echo
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), Faust, Part 2, Act 3, lines 9637-9640 (tr. David Luke):

All that ever is done
Nowadays is no
More than a wretched echo
Of the more glorious age of our forebears.
Alles, was je geschieht
Heutigen Tages,
Trauriger Nachklang ist's
Herrlicher Ahnherrntage.
