Where to place “peut-être” in this sentence?

They all seem possible with peut-être (maybe) getting different scopes:

  1. maybe => irrésistiblement
  2. maybe => un jour
  3. maybe => une telle vie m’attirera irrésistiblement un jour
  4. maybe => une telle vie m’attirera irrésistiblement un jour
  5. maybe => une telle vie m’attirera irrésistiblement un jour

In (3), the modality is presented as an afterthought while (4) and (5) express a possibility. There is a stylistic difference between the standard (5) and the litterary (4).
