Alexandre Dumas's Three Musketeers has a quote from the Ecclesiast
es theme verse when Aramis denies to D'Artangan that his decision to re-enter clerical life is motivated by a wound of the heart, rather than by his physical wound. He says "Vanitas vanitatum!" with the meaning that the suggestion of Aramis is 'nonsense', 'absurd', 'untrue'. (p 305).
