the deepest gap, that separated the people since ever

My Fair Lady (1964)

The noblest thoughts that ever flowed through the hearts of men are contained .... People stop and stare, they don't bother me for there's nowhere else on Earth ... It's filling up the deepest gap that separates class from class and soul from soul.

the deepest rift that has divided people since times immemorial

Frankly, I don't see how it is possible to combide the ajective "deepest" with the nown "barrier", as somebody did in Russian, may I say, not too swiftly.

the idiomatic usage is "since times immemorial", in plural and without any articles
