I cannot forbear from dwelling upon that mad maelstrom of death and destruction so soon to burst forth.

请问老师，so soon to burst forth.如何理解？尤其是so soon 修饰什么？

so soon to burst forth“即将/很快就会爆发的”作后置定语修饰maelstrom。其中，so soon作状语修饰不定式。又如：

Hello, I am very glad so soon to receive your letter from the other side of the ocean! 你好，很高兴这么快收到你来自大洋彼岸的回信！

How could she marry a man who was so soon to be exiled? 萨布莱娜怎么会嫁给一个马上就要被驱逐出境的人？

1. forbear from (较旧；= refrain from) 忍住、戒

2. burst forth (较旧；=burst out) 突然而猛烈地爆发、出现

3. dwell on/upon 想；回忆（这里根据后面的to burst forth, 也许可理解为“巴望着”）

4. so soon to burst forth 修饰that mad maelstrom

4a so soon = earlier than expected; 可简单分析为前置到了 v-to do 而已。

4b. to burst forth 可简单分析为mad maelstrom的后置定语
