Biological triplets? Unlikely, because #2 has blue eyes and the other two have brown (or at least darker) eyes. I think the three men simply had a reunion in the office of the optometrist who fitted them for Windsor glasses:
I am guessing that other commenters, like me, don’t know who any of these three are, or were.
Is #2 Wilfred Brambell, Paul’s gram in Hard Day’s Night?
#3 is James Joyce
#1 looks terribly familiar, but I cannot place….
1 looks like Lincoln
Nancy B:
You got the 2nd and 3rd.
Congatulations!
He’s a clean old man
Pervy Grin:
Indeed, number 2 is a very clean old man.
But who’s number 1?
Number one is Herman Hesse.
I read and enjoyed Siddartha.
“1 looks like Lincoln”
What Lincoln would have looked like if he had been the 30th president instead of the 16th.
I got Hesse and Joyce. The middle one looks like some Scandinavian Nobelist. Hamsun?
Abraxas:
Did you get your moniker from Demian?
The middle one is the clean old man from “A Hard Day’s Night.”
Quadruplet if you add in Alfred from the 70s Batman.
I used to have a pair of glasses like that, which I loved for the aesthetics, but, because they are perfectly round, the lenses would occasionally rotate in the frames.
Since I had some astigmatism (pre-cataract removal days), that was double-plus-ungood, and I had to go to the optometrist to get them re-adjusted.
The middle one is the clean old man from “A Hard Day’s Night.” –neo
Who was 52 years-old at the time!
Which seemed young to me for an old man.
Did you get your moniker from Demian?
Yes, I did enjoy and appreciate Hesse when I was younger. It’s not like I’m any kind of true believer in what Demian says. I just wanted something that sounded mysterious and mystical.

It’s amazed me for a long time that people who seemed old back in the Sixties were younger than the young people in the Sixties are now. If you had a popular music career in the 1920s or 1930s, you were long out of fashion by the 1960s and only remembered by old timers. If you were big in the 1960s, you might actually be out on tour this year — or at least your music is still played and your name isn’t forgotten.
If you give him some glasses, you could make [a fourth brother] out of the scifi + horror stories writer- H.P. Lovecraft. 😀
