Is it natural to say:
"I remember the sleeves of uncertain length shaken by the dawn train."
"I remember her sleeves of uncertain length shaken by the dawn train."
A:
no the first one is not natural. “The sleeves” is very vague and means you could be talking about any sleeves so it sounds weird. “Her sleeves” is much better.
The wording “sleeves of uncertain length” is also very weird as well. It’s not how a natural English speaker would describe something, though technically it’s correct. Just as “dawn train” is very weird as well. They aren’t natural sounding English phrases.

Other questions about "Might"
Q:
What does " that might play into the president's hands," mean?
Context>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Issuing a subpoena also would likely lead to fresh attacks from the president and his Republican allies. Trump has regularly disparaged the Russia investigation as a political "witch hunt," and on Thursday he told Bloomberg News that he believes the special counsel investigation is "illegal."
"I think [Mueller's prosecutors] would be crossing a line and, look, I also think that might play into the president's hands," said Ford O'Connell, a Republican strategist. "President Trump wants to fight this out in public because of what he, or the administration, sees as brutal prosecutorial tactics by the special counsel."
But challenging a grand jury subpoena could also risk giving the appearance that Trump is not cooperating with the investigation, which his critics would undoubtedly seize on.
Legal analysts agree that it's a step that Mueller, like any experienced prosecutor, is willing to take if Trump's testimony is vital to ending the probe.

A:
I'll give you a more simple example. Say I dug a hole in the ground, covered it with leaves, and laid a bunch of money on top of the leaves hoping that you will go try to pick up the money and fall in the hole. What I actually want is for you to fall into the hole, not get the money. So if you did go try to pick up the money, and then fell in the hole, I got what I wanted, which was for you to fall into the hole. Therefore, you played right into my hand.
