| Abstract | A typed transcription of Emily Dickinson's poem "Her smile was shaped like other smiles." A line of asterisks separates two stanzas; the stanza below the asterisks begins with the line "A happy lip breaks sudden." The transcription is part of the collection of transcriptions of Dickinson's poems produced by Mabel Loomis Todd for publication in a volume edited by her. Most transcriptions are in Todd’s own hand; some are typed, and some were transcribed by other individuals. Editor's marks, alternate wording, and notes are written in pencil on the transcript. |
| Notes | The item is undated. The date range is based on the year Emily Dickinson died and the year the final volume of Dickinson's poems and letters that Mabel Loomis Todd edited was published. |
