What is that which hath been? it is that which is, and what is that which hath been done? it is that which is done, and there is not an entirely new thing under the sun.

What is that which hath been? already it is, and that which is to be hath already been, and God requireth that which is pursued.

There is a thing of which one saith: 'See this, it is new!' already it hath been in the ages that were before us!
