What is an illusion to literature?
There is no such thing as an illusion to literature, rather, an allusion is when someone says something like "So Eden sank to grief" (Robert Frost's Nothing Gold Can Stay). It is a reference to something outside of the situation, in this case literature. Here the allusion is to the Bible, as it refers to Eden (the garden of Eden). Normally allusions refer to popular things that have been integrated into society, such as the Bible, or The Matrix.
