<P> "The Lady's Dressing Room" is a poem written by Jonathan Swift first published in 1732 . In the poem, Strephon sneaks into his lover Celia's dressing room while she is away only to become disillusioned at how filthy and smelly it is . Swift uses this poem to satirize both women's vain attempts to match an ideal image and men's expectation that the illusion be real . For the poem's grotesque treatment of bodily functions, Swift was slandered by literary critics and psychoanalyzed as suffering from "the excremental vision ." </P> <P> The poem was written by Jonathan Swift, who was most famous for his book Gulliver's Travels . This author was a satirist to the core . He mocked, vexed, and made comical political commentary . Thomas Sheridan called him "a man whose original genius and uncommon talents have raised him, in the general estimation, above all other writers of the age ." </P> <P> This poem chronicles the misadventure of Strephon as he explores his mistress's vacant dressing room . Beginning with an ideal image of his lover he looks through the contents of her room, but encounters only objects that repulse him . He finds sweaty smocks, dirt - filled combs, oily cloths, grimy towels, snot encrusted handkerchiefs, jars of spit, cosmetics derived from dog intestines, and a mucky, rancid clothes chest . Beholding this filth, culminating in the discovery of her chamber pot, he is slapped with the reality that Celia (the name "Celia" means "heavenly") is not a "goddess," but as disgustingly human as he is, as shown in line 118: "Oh! Celia, Celia, Celia shits!" </P>
