| Evidence: | John Tyndall to Hallam Tennyson (1893):
'Under the date of Sunday, 20th October, 1850, I find the following [journal] entry: "Up at 6 A.M. and began the day by reading Tennyson. I am acquainted with no spirit so strong, pure, and beautiful. Every line sparkles with empyrean fire, so that it is difficult to make a selection. I will, however, notice 'The Two Voices' [...] In this poem the tempter to despair is furnished with his best weapons, and foiled though armed cap-a-pie.'"'
