Yes, You Have Seen This:

And Yes, You Have Seen This:

 Yes, you have heard this:

“In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.”
( Septuagint, Genesis I: 1 )

 But why have you never heard this ? :

“When he ( God ) prepared
the heaven, I ( Wisdom ) was present with him; and
when he prepared his throne upon the
winds: and when he strengthened the
clouds above; and when he secured the
fountains of the earth: and when he
strengthened the foundations of the earth:
I was by him, suiting myself to him, I
was that wherein he took delight; and
daily I rejoiced in his presence continually.”
( Septuagint, Prov.VIII: 27-30 )

Yes, you have heard this:

"Sing of Mary, pure and lowly, Virgin mother undefiled."
(Hymn 117 The Hymnal 1940- Episcopal)

But why have you never heard this?:

"...insamuch as God, by one and the same decree, had established the origin of Mary and the Incarnation of Divine Wisdom."
Pope Pius IX- Bull Ineffabilis- 1854

"Both in her Offices and in the most holy Liturgy the Church hath been accustomed to apply to the creation of Mary the language in which the Holy Scriptures set forth the Eternal Generation of the Uncreated Wisdom, and that, because Mary was predestined in the same decree of the Incarnation of the same Wisdom."
Roman Breviary, December 10, Third Day within the Octave of the Immaculate Conception, Second Nocturn, Fourth lesson from the Dogmatic Bull of Pope Pius IX.

And Why Have You Never Seen This?
