Artistic spirit (4)

I believe the answer is:

muse

(Other definitions for muse that I've seen before include "Inspiring goddess" , "Ponder, say meditatively" , "Meditate on a goddess of the arts" , "Ponder in meditative way" , "Ponder on one of nine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
