George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion (1912, staged 1914) owes something to both the Greek Pygmalion and the legend of "King Cophetua and the beggar maid"; in which a king lacks interest in women, but one day falls in love with a young beggar-girl, later educating her to be his queen. Shaw's comedy of manners in turn was the basis for the Broadway musical My Fair Lady

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.”

King James Version 

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. 

What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? 

[One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
