Thanks jono for hosting and the brilliance of your final decision, as well as for putting all the scary parts of "The Shining" into my head for the next few days.
I would like to point out that my #5 did use "escape" as the definition although this is probably not sufficient to properly define "muse". (I do think "Escape through a hedge to the V&A without hesitation" would be a tremendous marketing slogan.)
