text_original: In mid winter he crossed the Alps and proceeded to the Castle of Canossa, a grim fortress which crowns a high peak of the Apennines, where Gregory VII was staying. The cold was bitter and snow lay deep upon the ground. Henry IV lodged outside the castle walls and waited for three days, but the Pope would not see him. Then one morning, barefoot and clad in a coarse shirt, he climbed the steep path to the castle, and knocked as a humble penitent for admission at the door.
