In this passage, the narrator observes a woman described as a "sad thirtieth child of Valentine," implying she is a delicate, perhaps tragic figure connected to love or desire. Her falling or downfall is not portrayed as rebellion like Lucifer's, but as stemming from her intense longing and desire to be united with something or someone she perhaps cannot attain, highlighting her passion and vulnerability.

The quote emphasizes that excess in any form can lead to sin. It suggests that her passionate nature, while driven by love or longing, ultimately results in her downfall. The overall message reflects on the dangers of overindulgence and the tragic consequences of unchecked emotions and desires.
