You don't think dropping the "that" might pull the line farther away from the sentence it's supporting though? Doesn't "stretches to the horizon’s hem" without "that" come across as a statement about emerald dresses in general. Like "A dog that speaks french" as opposed to "A dog speaks french".
I could really use your help on what the proper punctuation should be in the poem's current form. I googled up like 5 different ways that people punctuated the "To be or not to be" quote.
