Alas, no!
It was most definitely something quite close to the lines of, he
arrived at the place where he started off...I do recall there was a
"hoc" and a "ubi" or "ubis" in there...damn, it was one of my most
treasured quotes; I had it bookmarked, saved as a Word do***ent -- it
almost became a scrolling-marquee screen-saver....
The connotation of it reminded me of the old Ecclesiastical "there is
nothing new under the sun"...it put in mind the knight from "The
Seventh Seal" who set off on the Crusades only to wind up back home,
no more holy than before, but only older, perhaps even embittered and
resigned....

How about this?
Hunc in lo*** reversus sum ubi olim profectus, Jerusalem necdum adeptus.
Domine, tua salvatione sum indignus.
