The personalities of the dwarfs
were still “open to change”
throughout the rewrites. Dopey himself
was introduced late. Why not add a Latinate
“a” to the end of his name
as Adriana Caselotti sings the Sinemet out
from the front of her cerebral cortex?
The voice of Snow White would marry a doctor
in the same year her previous husband,
the actor Norval Mitchell, died.
Pure joy will transmit as the dwarfs
remove small, bloodless jewels —
“Heigh-ho” in the mineshaft.
Emphasis mine.
