1. Once a director able to work his obsessions into powerful narrative films like "Point Blank" and "Deliverance", he has drifted towards autobiographical whimsy, with predictable consequences: much of his diary is taken up with the crisis of confidence after the failure of his "Where the Heart Is".
2. Whimsy and sentimental, but you see I'm well, sentimental plus if you understand what I mean
3. Unfortunately Paul Taylor's Oz displayed far too much of the Taylor whimsy, a brand of humour that simply does not cross the Atlantic.
4. What is extraordinary is that Chris Trump is raking it in with nature table whimsy, rather than oil, beer, or newspapers.
5. Whimsy with bite, what could be cooler?
6. The earlier and well-known technique of framing up a loose panel appears to have been sacrificed to the whimsy of fashion.
7. The bicentenary year is an opportunity and a challenge, as well as a danger: an opportunity to take stock and to hear and see Mozart at his best, a challenge to clear away the sentimental cobwebs and let Mozart speak, but a danger that the world will be engulfed in mass-marketed whimsy.
8. Thus Wish veers dizzily from gleeful whimsy to cosmic angst; from unconfident extroversion to manic introspection.
9. How to avoid the traps of both Genius and Whimsy? wrote Harsnet (typed Goldberg).
10. The usually-amusing, Belloc, Wilde and Betjeman, can be disappointing; others - Lamb, Forster and even Churchill - display an alarming taste for whimsy.
11. It is possible to see faint remnants of the city/ savage confrontation in the later plays, and Carol Smith continues to track the ritual elements in these, but the feeling in them seems to me increasingly one of whimsy and, eventually, gentle pastoral.
12. The stairwell repeats the grid-like windows of the central concourse and is topped by one slight piece of whimsy: a tiny "Juliet" balcony cut into the top-floor end-wall, which offers an excellent vantage point over the studios.
13. But underneath the veil of whimsy, we are still left with some valuable evidence of the life and traditions of those people in that place at that time.
