'The voice of the turtle is heard in the land'. From OT book Song of Solomon

Any way to use vs Mitch?

Google has another OT mention in Leviticus

Also The Voice of the Turtle was a long-running play, starting during WWII , IIRC

Personal note---my aunt went to a performance of the play here in OK in the late 40s, when I was in grade school. She repeatedly called the play The Turtle Talks. I think that's why I remember--I found that phrase very funny. And also Mom kept correcting her with the actual title
