She sits by her window.
She sips at her tea.
She waits for her love,
Toreturnfrom the sea.
Her suitors come calling.

One of my favorite writing styles in the world was fan translations of Jojo where every fifth term would be put in quotation marks, like (to use a made-up example):

I don’t know why it was written this way. It might be to indicate that they were using English there (some translations do that, but this one never noted it) or maybe Araki’s use of punctuation really is that unhinged.
