measureless

Beyond all calculation

Measureless means too vast or immense to be measured: measureless depths, measureless sorrow.

The word is literary and emphatic, suggesting something that exceeds all attempts at quantification.

It appears famously in Coleridge's "caverns measureless to man." Where *immeasurable* sounds clinical, measureless carries poetic weight.
