Frank J. Wilstach, comp.  A Dictionary of Similes.  1916.
 
Delusion
 
  Delusions, errors, and lies are like huge, gaudy vessels, the rafters of which are rotten and worm-eaten, and those who embark in them are fated to be shipwrecked.
            —Buddha		  1
  Delusions, like dreams, are dispelled by our awakening to the stern realities of life.
            —Alexander R. C. Dallas		  2
Dear delusions, fairy charms,
As fancy dreams in virtue’s arms.
            —Edward Lovibond		  3
  Delusion—like the butterfly to soar.
            —Imre Madách		  4
