Brook is another word for stream (a small 'river').
Impetuous could refer to the fast, forcefully flowing water in a river, but in this case (since it is combined with tug) it refers to the forceful pull (alure) of the (idea of) the brook.
After 200 miles of hot, dusty road I can imagine why.
I have no idea why the brook is disillusioned. If the brook were disillusioning, it would mean it was not as big/nice/impressive as we'd hoped, but the way it is written makes it seem the brook itself feels disillusioned.
The 'come to feel again' refers to having already been in a similar situation, perhaps with exactly the same brook.
This looks like a sentence from literature. It evokes imagery (at least in my mind).

What specifically do you want? The definitions of the bigger words? Or the meaning of the sentence as a whole?

It sounds like:
After this person traveled on a hot, dusty road 200 miles, he still could not encounter a small stream of water. The impetuous tug of a brook was just an illusion. He felt it (or wanted to feel it) but it was not there.
