Kierkegaard on Anselm's Proof

From Kierkegaard's papers and journals:

Anselm prays to God in all sincerity that he may succeed in proving God's existence. He thinks he has succeeded and throws himself down to thank God: curious, he does not notice that this prayer and thanksgiving are infinitely more proof of God's existence than -- the proof.
