Nothing new, indeed ?

One of my teachers has once said that all have said and that all have been done.With the same breathe he has suggested that not a single piece of new verse can one compose any more and not a single novel idea can one have in the mind any more. He has considered the things in the following way: The earth is a very old one and human beings have been here for millenniums. Hence human beings have got more than enough time and purpose to ponder over and to find out anything novel. And as they are very little, that is, smaller than even grains that may be viewed by our instrumented eyes even, the capacity in mankind must have a limit. In his view those ability and capability have been exhausted long before and what we have been witnessing at present are rearrangement of the old only. I do not know if his conclusion was without any mistakes. What I find is something queer. Long before the discovery of the aircrafts we have read references of the something resembling those in the invaluable epics. And I do not feel comfortable to consider those as imagination far-fetched although I am not sure of anything still.
