"Able was I ere I saw Elba" is an English phrase which supposedly would have applied to Napoleon Bonaparte when he was exiled to the island of Elba. It is a palindrome meaning it has the same letter order in reverse as it does forward (word spacing can be different but isn't here).
Another good example of a palindrome is "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"
A palindrome. There are very famous examples in English such as: mum, bob, dad, non, nun, nurses run, madam, and many more.
Even in other languages we find such palindromes.

"Able was I ere I saw Elba" It's an old piece of folklore that Napoleon said that palindrome when he was exiled to the island of Elba. But it's not very likely to be true because he was French so he usually spoke in French and not in English.
