The first chapter of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) in Hebrew is poetry of the most exalted sort:

מַה־שֶׁהָיָה הוּא שֶׁיִּהְיֶה, וּמַה־שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂה הוּא שֶׁיֵּעָשֶׂה, וְאֵין כָּל־חָדָשׁ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ.

Mah-she-hayah hu’ she-yihyeh, u-mah-she-na‘asah hu’ she-yei‘aseh, ve-’ein kol khadash takhat ha-shemesh.

That which has been is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done, and there is nothing new under the Sun.

We shall not cease from exploration / And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time.
