I have read the passage in "The Contest" and I believe the following lines suggest that Emperor Nero was ruthless:
<span>“Quick, Policles, quick!” he cried. “My pony is tethered behind yonder grove. A grey he is, with red trappings. </span>Get you gone as hard as hoof will bear you, for if you are taken you will have no easy death.”
“No easy death! What mean you, Metas? Who is the fellow?”
<span>“Great Jupiter! did you not know? Where have you lived? <span>It is Nero the Emperor! Never would he pardon what you have said about his voice. </span>Quick, man, quick, or the guards will be at your heels!” - This was the conversation of Policles and his friend, Metas of Corinth</span>
Musing through memories
Losing my grip on the grey
Numbing the senses
Feeling reality slip away
Fighting to hold on
Clinging for the next day
Nowhere to run from this
No way to forget
Around the shadows creep
Like friends they'll cover me
Just want to lay me down
And finally try to get some sleep
It's 12 lines so I hope thats ok, if not just remove two. Also you said tomorrow, but not when tomorrow so sorry if it's late :)
I guess its sequence will be ethos pathos logos
Answer:
King Leopold, by the world "civilization", means European civilization, that is to say, all the economic, social, and political characteristics of the European world at his time.
Things like industry, monarchies, christianity, gunpowder based warfare, are the main characteristics of the European world at the time, and these are the things that King Leopold is referring to by the world "civilization".
