Darling Illusion is a term from a poem by Canadian "Confederation Poet" Charles G. D. Roberts called Tantramar Revisted. In the poem, the narrator believes in an unchanging, sacred form of nature defined as the "Darling Illusion". The term has since been used by many literary critics to describe similar themes in Canadian poetry from that time.
