MY DEAR DAVIS,
The "bad eminence" of turning down Sterling's great poem is one that you will have to share with some of your esteemed fellow magazinists -- for examples, the editors of the Atlantic, Harper's, Scribner's, The Century, and now the Metropolitan, all of the elite. All of these gentlemen, I believe, profess, as you do not, to know literature when they see it, and to deal in it.
