Inspiration for an artist (4)

I believe the answer is:

muse

(Other definitions for muse that I've seen before include "Source of inspiration; rock group" , "Ponder, say meditatively" , "Goddess; rock group" , "The source of an artist's inspiration" , "Be absorbed in thought" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Washington Post Sunday.
