Man cannot express it.
aThe eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor the ear filled with hearing.
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us.
Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
By those who will come after.

Ecclesiastes 1:10
Is there any thing, etc. - The original is beautiful. "Is there any thing which will say, See this! it is new?" Men may say this of their discoveries, etc.; but universal nature says, It is not new. It has been, and it will be.
