Episode 59 - The Ledge of the Proud. Dante learns about humility, and the climb gets easier.

As Virgil and Dante walk through the main gate of the Purgatory they discover a set of beautiful carvings about the virtue of humility, they meet the regretful souls of the proud under heavy slabs of stone, and they discover a second set of carvings, this time with stories about pride.

After this, an angel comes and removes one of the seven P's from Dante's forehead:

"He led us straight to where the rock was cleft.
Once there, he brushed his wings against my brow,
then he assured me of a safe ascent."
v. 97-99, Canto XII.

And finally, when Dante realizes what has happened, the 12th Canto ends with a smile.

"so, my right hand with fingers spread found just
six of the seven letters that were carved
upon my brow by him who keeps the keys.

Observing this, my master smiled at me."

v. 133-136, Canto XII.
