What is a Muse?

What is a muse?

The goddesses who inspire the creation of literature and the arts. They were considered the source of the knowledge, related orally for centuries in the ancient culture, that was contained in poetic lyrics and myths. The compliment to a real woman who inspires creative endeavor is a later idea. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse) I don't particularly like cite wikipedia as a source....I did it for ease in this post....

Not looking for a woman, per se but anything that inspires the creation of literature (writing) or art (painting or photography).

I'm on a quest to find my muse or muses....what ever they may be.
