endless stretch

Boundless span ahead

An endless stretch is a vast expanse that seems to continue without limit: an endless stretch of highway, endless stretches of desert.

The phrase emphasizes monotony or overwhelming scale—the eye finds no boundary.

Time uses it too: an endless stretch of silence, endless stretches of boredom.
