immortal

Beyond death's reach

Immortal means living forever, exempt from death.

Gods are immortal; mortals are not.

The word extends to things that endure indefinitely: immortal fame, immortal words.

An immortal is a being that cannot die, or figuratively, someone whose legacy persists: Shakespeare is one of the immortals.

To immortalize is to preserve in memory forever.
