Question
hi!, in the almost wedding of Brandon and Kelly, her mother shows her a necklace i think with a piece of a poem that i cant remember, then Kelly told her mother that they said in 7 words what she cant in 7000, can you tell which poem was it??? thank you!!
Hello Roverto,
I wouldn't know what the poem is without checking my videotape for the scene and doing an online search from there. Thankfully, someone has taken the time to add a note about that very scene on tv.com's BH90210 episode guide and how it was actually an incorrect quote for a Wordsworth poem. It seems two words were left out. Here's what they added:
-------------
Just before the wedding that didn't happen, Jackie gives Kelly a locket that was given to Jackie's mother by Jackie's father. It has the inscription "Thoughts That Lie Too Deep For Tears," which Jackie identifies as a line being authored by William Wordsworth, one of the leading Romantic poets who lived from 1770-1850. This line actually reads,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
It is the last line from Wordsworth's poem "Ode: Intimations of Immortality From Recollections of Early Childhood."
-------------
Take care,
Crystal

Expertise
I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.
Experience
I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down.
Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.
