(Since Morden's been in my head recently, I asked her, er, him a few questions about this conversation.)
First of all, I think the conversation most makes sense as Morden trying to get Lennier to play a part in the destruction of Centauri Prime, in which he quite succeeded. Second of all, the things Morden said are quite ambiguous, and don't really mean anything. As far as I remember, the only two pieces of information he gives are 1) "Delenn does not love you like you love her, and never will." (which, if you are less self-hating than Lennier, would be a simple statement of the obvious - there are many ways in which Delenn's love for Lennier is different than her love for him, not the least that it will never feel unrequited.) and 2) that he will find out if there is life after death "soon enough" (which, since there's no time frame, and any time is soon to someone who is dead or immortal, doesn't mean anything at all. Even if we discount the possibility that he could be destined to find out about life after death in some way other than dying.)
I'm also stuck on the King Solomon reference. If Neil Gaiman didn't notice that by having Lennier ask for wisdom he was making him into King Solomon, well, he should have. (The King Solomon narrative is, as far as I can remember, the only Biblical narrative where God asks 'what do you want' instead of just giving a blessing.) Especially after all the hints (and the occasional outright statement) about Delenn training Lennier to be her successor. If Delenn is the messianic figure, her sucessor would be the Solomonic figure. One would think.
The problem is, JMS didn't write this episode. So maybe we can't hold him responsible for hints and allusions in it. Still, these hints are as canon as anything, certainly as canon as things JMS says he thought of but never filmed.
