Original artwork, not a still
Men met each other with erected look,
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The linked lines describe people meeting with raised bearing, friends hurrying to congratulate one another and old enemies exchanging greetings. Erected look means uplifted appearance here; this fragment conveys public animation without identifying its occasion from the isolated lines.
