Hi
What does 'grace' mean in 'power rather than grace'?
Thanks in advance

Context is so important, my friend, but I'll give it a try. Grace refers to a quality of goodness, even something divinely given. My guess is that someone ruled/governed/led by strength and authority rather than kindness and consideration.
