There is an Ancient Greek claim by a guy named Gorgias that nothing exists and even if it did exist no one could know it; and if anyone did know it, it could not be communicated.
Rather nihilistic, eh?
Gorgias was a Sophist and Sophists were traveling philosophers who for a fee dazzled you with their cleverness and snake-oil way with words. Sort of like politicians today.
W. H. Auden was a poet from our era (1907-1973) and poets are certainly not philosophers but here is an interesting poem about how we really don’t know anything about Life, and Time will only tell us, “I told you so.”
