Litarary Context

It seems as only yesterday--it is in fact fourteen long, long years--that I heard him thus holding forth to his pupils, explaining the marvels of the illimitable void, and rendering clear to my understanding the vast distance that exists between the Being that created all things and the works of his hands.

Hunt for Words

Found the word in a Keroac Haiku: Stop slipping me/ Your old Diamond Sutra/You illimitable tight-ass! I I thought it funny but was not sure what illimitable meant... I guess I could have broken the word down into its components but I think I read the poem too quickly.   So I looked it up and it meant unlimited.
