I remember that in college. I didn't know what English it was at the time, but it was not easy to read by any means. It would have been incomprehensible without the translations (in the margins of the book, IIRC). I don't remember it enlightening me or making me a better or more intelligent person in the slightest. But I did pass the course, which being required for my major, allowed me to get my degree (question: Why does an Electrical Engineer need to read Chaucer?)
