Description

This word means "forever," but with an older, more poetic feel. It is often used in stories, songs, or dramatic speech to show that something will last without end. It can describe lasting love, loyalty, memory, or a state that will never change. You usually do not hear it in everyday conversation. It sounds literary and gives a stronger sense of permanence than a plain "forever."
