Translation into French with "of"

Was thinking about the Steinbeck novel "Of Mice and Men", which is rendered in French as "Des souris et des hommes". This got me thinking, how would you translate the superficially similar phrase "of beating hearts" into French? Can you even say something like "de battre les coeurs"?  --Thanks!

I suppose it would be des coeurs battants.
