The Two Voices is a poem written by British Poet Laureate Alfred Tennyson between 1833 and 1834 published in his 1842 volume of Poems. Tennyson wrote the poem titled Thoughts of a Suicide in manuscript after the death of his friend Arthur Henry Hallam in 1833. Tennyson explained When I wrote ‘The Two Voices’ I was so utterly miserable a burden to myself and to my family that I said ‘Is life worth anything?’ (Hill 54).
