A MONKISH RIDDLE

Like an old chestnut*
The tree in the forest falls
Silent? Who’s to say?

If you describe something that is said or written as an old chestnut or a hoary old chestnut, you mean that it has been repeated so often that it is no longer interesting.” (Free Dictionary; Collins COBUILD Idioms Dictionary, 3rd ed. © HarperCollins Publishers 2012.)
