I added pictures to this lecture given by Walter Kaufmann at Princeton University in the 1960's. His lectures are available in audio at Archive.org

Kierkegaard had to resign himself to giving up his love for Regine, his fiance, because he felt a "calling" to serve God. He cared so much for Regine that he tried to get her to be resigned to giving up her plan to marry Kierkegaard. He compared his situation to that of Abraham giving up his love for Isaac because he had a "calling" to serve God.

Part Two of the lecture can be found here.
