Fyodor Tyutchev, tr. by Babette Deutsche and Avrahm Yarmolinsky, from Modern Russian Poetry: an anthology; “Twilight”
fanfic is a modern concept that can only exist under capitalism and relies on copyright and the concept of intellectual property to exist. authors from centuries ago using characters that didn't originate with them isn't fanfic, especially if it's tied to religious beliefs that simply evolved over time, or if they're using them to make a point about society. arthurian literature isn't fanfic, the divine comedy isn't fanfic, greco-roman mythology isn't fanfic.
