Women Running on the Beach, 1922
I've read Aldous Huxley's Brave New World many times. Only recently, I found out that he derived his title from Shakespeare's The Tempest.
From Wikipedia:
Brave New World's ironic title derives from Miranda's speech in William Shakespeare's The Tempest, Act V, Scene I:O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't.
—William Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act V, Scene I
