Turtledove’s voice — hidden wisdom among the perfect
The turtledove’s voice is the wisdom the Word’s steward speaks among the perfect, God’s wisdom hidden in a mysteryThe turtledove lives in more secret places, apart from the crowd — mountain wastes or woodland secrets.
Latin
Vox turturis: sapientia quam dispensator Verbi loquitur inter perfectos, abscondita in mysterio. Turtur in secretioribus locis vitam agit, a multitudine aliena — deserta montium aut secreta silvarum.
