T s Eliot's rejection letter to W H Auden

Today I was at our sales conference at Bloomsbury House in London. This is the office of Faber and Faber in London. On the wall is this letter from Eliot to Auden dated 1927. Eliot's view was that the poems were 'not quite right'. So he rejected the best poet of the twentieth century. Faber, of course, now publish ALL of Auden and the Selected Poems is one of my favourite books.
