Did C.S. Lewis read Soren Kierkegaard?

I'm aware that some of Lewis' contemporaries and friends were influenced by Kierkegaard, like Charles Williams (the translator to English of Kierkegaard), W.H. Auden (who compiled The Living Thoughts of Kierkegaard), ... he must have been aware of Great Dane. But whether L read K is something I don't know.

Yet he was not will to hear of Kierkegaard when first hearing of him by an enthusiatic friend, who also happened to mention Kierkegaard's spoiling of his engagement by portraying himself as an ogre.
"That's enough, the man was pathological," said C.S. Lewis.
"And he would hear no more," said his friend.

it's a shame these two great Christian thinkers didn't have dialogue.

Dialogue would be tricky, since Kierkegaard died before Lewis was born.
Lewis had read Kierkegaard.

The Joyful Christian p. 103 - "I can't read Kierkegaard myself, but some people find him helpful." (referring to spiritural reading)
