True, but it's beautiful. And powerful (because of the
rhythm). You always wonder: will there be yet another
one after this one ? And you can imagine the speaker
knocking on the table in the same time:
HÄTten geSCHLAgen WERden MÜSsen !

OK, let's make a contest. I can imagine, in French,
something like:

J'aurais pu croire avoir voulu devoir être entendu,

which makes 8 verbal forms in sequence (but sounds
somehow, em, heavy: I could have believed I had wanted
that I would have been heard)

Expecting propositions.
