Croissant: an Analysis

I was eating a croissant with grape jelly and a small coffee when it dawned on me.  A croissant, composed of the same ingredients as many other simple dough, is possibly the highest form of bread.  A croissant is flour, butter, milk, and yeast amalgamated to its maximum potential.

Oh, woe to all other lowly breads.
Oh, woe to such lost potential.

The labour and toils all dough must go through.
Heavy are the strains of pressure, heat, and time.
Woe to those doughs who endure, yet do not become.
Nay, cannot become.

How ethereal, how divine.
Long live the croissant.
