    Default no use?

    "Bob Dylan's ways with words are a wonder, matched as they are with his music and verified by those voices of his."
    There isn't any difference in meanig if we take as they are out of the sentence, is there? The only reason for as thery are being there is to make the sentence look prettier?
    Thanks.
