Question

what does the poet mean by icy hand of 'Death'?​

Answer 1

Answer:he significance of the line is that death discriminates none, be it the king or a commoner. In death everybody is equal. Wealth, religion, caste, class, etc., all becomes non entity in death. It levels ones status. No matter how rich you were you just need a small piece of land for your burial. Same with any common man.
