ever-burning
Never goes out
Ever-burning describes something that burns continuously without extinguishing.
The term appears most often in literary or mythological contexts—an ever-burning flame in a temple, an ever-burning torch lighting ancient halls.
It can extend figuratively to passions or desires that never fade: an ever-burning love for justice.
